Class Description:
Jews@Work: Law and Medicine charts the remarkable progress Oregon Jews made as they integrated into the life of the state. From their days as immigrants to fully participatory Oregonians, their journey is reflected in the work they plunged into over the 150 years of Oregon’s history. The pursuit of knowledge, combined with the quest for justice and the sanctity of life, has drawn Jews to professions in law and medicine. Through compelling narratives, artifacts and photographs, the exhibition chronicles the history, growth and culture in Oregon that made it possible for Jews to become full participants in the community and pursue these prestigious professions.
